Gear Review

Swift Parry got rebalanced in 2026 and has gained more significance and power. It has transitioned from a niche set to one with broader appeal. While still considered a set for damage-dealing champions, it can be used effectively with 4-6 pieces on revive or defensive champions, providing a surprising advantage against opponents. Champions to consider are Carnage, Arne, Rotos, and Siphi (for a tank-supportive build).
